The first gathering of beekeepers was held in the Vytegorsky district of the Vologda region

The event was supported by the Department of Agriculture and Food Resources and a specialized public organization.
The organizers included various educational events in the business program. The participants were given theoretical and practical classes, during which they studied special tools and technologies for working in a real hive.
Beginning beekeepers were trained under the guidance of experienced mentors. For young professionals, master classes were organized on making frames for beehives, on practical work with a smoker, and they arranged a tasting of honey from different parts of the country. Also, the participants of the rally visited the existing apiary in the Vytegorsky district.
On the second day of the rally, beekeepers took part in a round table on the development of the industry. Together with experts, they discussed the possibilities and conditions for participation in state support programs and discussed other topical issues.
“This is the first such event in the region. We have gathered beekeepers and consultants at one site. Such work is necessary for the development of beekeeping, the coordination of educational activities in the industry, the provision of advisory assistance to business entities involved in beekeeping,” said Sergey Poromonov, HEAD of the Department of Agriculture and Food Resources of the Vologda Region.
